Sabbath - a day of rest and worship
Last night, I got a text message from a friend asking me if I could go to a seminar of a certain networking business today.
Today is Sunday. I work so hard and give all my time to my work and ministry from Mondays through Fridays. I do my laundry every Saturday and do ministry again. Sunday is Sabbath Day for most Christians. It is my GOD day, family day and rest day. If I'm needed by any friend, I try to consider them on Sundays.
But I don't think it could be my "business" day. I don't think it could be my "earning money" day. I am not a lover of money anymore. I am not greedy with money anymore. I earn and spend wisely, not on luxury. I'm not materialistic anymore. I must admit though that I never got satisfied in the past so I wanted more. I had more debts, instead of earning more. But JESUS CHRIST saved me from that financial bondage. I was able to pay my debts from my sinful days.
Now it is my choice to not do business-related things on my Sundays. Why? I am contented with everything GOD has given me and I shall accept everything HE will give me. I do not desire a heart that longs for money and other material things just to satisfy my selfish desires.
Honestly, I am not glorifying myself here or what...I simply want to ask you, would you please have the honor to respect Sabbath and not think of money for just once a week?
Just a thought to ponder today on your Sunday.
When I pondered about the word "Sunday", I suddenly thought of the sun. Then I thought of summer. Then a picture of the beach flashed. Then I thought of a hammock, white sand and blue/green beach. I could either lie on the sand or in the hammock. Which one is better? For me, this is my best picture of Sunday. What's yours?
I LOVE beaches! hehehe! I went to the beach earlier and the water was green and silent. Not too much waves. Not too much people. This is my type of beach. hehehe!
I pray for a continuous FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH in your life!!!

Beautiful post...I agree with your thoughts on staying away from business on Sunday.....
how and when did u start to be like that?...I believe in God and I love Him, but I barely go to church since I find no time. I may have one, but I think praying is enough..(though it may not seem enough)When I read, your blog I realized I have all the time to serve Him, but I don't find away. I'm working and studying too, so I really value every minute, and attending mass every Sunday is pretty hard... I may drop by sometimes, just to say a little prayer, to thank Him and ask for all forgiveness.
As of now, I admit that I prioritize my career most...I want money, I want to own a house, all material things that anyone would want to..I can't help it. But He is always in my heart and in my mind. As long as I don't hurt anyone, and try to live by His words..I think I'm still doing the right thing, though not truly devoted (meaning I don't go to church regularly or read the Bible).
wow super duper long comment! sorry for that...but I love your blog site..I actually found yours from my friend you're part of her blogroll...i'll try to check your new posts, wala lang parang its a way for me to get to know Him more.. =)
